How does the estimated phase of menstrual cycle or menopause influence the prevalence of vasovagal syncope induced by head-up tilt test.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of syncope induced by head-up tilt test (HUTT) and the type of positive vasovagal response to the orthostatic stress in a relationship to the estimated phase of menstrual cycle (follicular phase, luteal phase) or menopause.

Methods: We observed a cohort of 500 women at age 13-89 years (median of age 37.5), referred to HUTT.

Endothelial function in vasovagal syncope.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a common form of fainting. The pathophysiology of VVS is complex and involves changes in the autonomic and vascular tone, resulting in reflex bradycardia with marked hypotension. Paradoxical peripheral vasodilation caused by endothelial dysfunction may also play a key role in inappropriate hypotension during VVS.

[Evaluation of plasma renin activity in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary interventions].

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was evaluation of plasma renin activity (PRA) in patients with acute ST-segement elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). We observed 40 patients (30 men, 10 woman) aged 29-69 yrs (mean age 53.9 SD 10.

Evaluation of sinus and atrioventricular nodes function in patients with vasovagal syncope.

Aim: Evaluation of sinus and atrioventricular nodes function as a potential factor responsible for prolonged bradycardia, asystole, or both in patients with cardioinhibitory and non-cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope (VVS). The study included 258 patients (mean age = 47.7 +/- 17.
